Logan Mankins Quotations

In football, you're hitting, so you might as well hit in practice.

I have a good house for hosting, so we had the barbecues, and some of the guys over for Thanksgiving, even Christmas.

I just want to play until I think I don't feel good - and if I can still do it. If I can't do it, I don't think I'll keep going once I don't feel I'm playing the way I want to.

Growing up, I was taught a mans word is his bond.

I always felt like we were here to do a job, so you should be out there practicing and playing.

I always was flattered when people would say I would do whatever it took for the team. I always thought of myself as that kind of guy.

I hurt my left knee playing left tackle. I had surgery on my right knee.

I like to keep most of my private life private.

I'm not going to say something I shouldn't. In that way, I was probably the perfect guy to play in New England.

If I can run, I'm not going to sit out any game. I'm here to play football, not to watch and collect a check.

If you could still run and play, there's no reason to go see a doctor, right?

It's a place I'll always remember, and I have nothing bad to say about New England. I love that place.

The best thing I've ever heard another player say is, 'I hate playing against you.'

When someone invests in you, I don't want to disappoint them. I want to be the player they think they're getting.

You always feel pretty good after a bye, after a couple of days off. Not having a game, you freshen up a little.

You don't have time to dwell on what is going on in the games.

You might not feel good, and you might not want to practice, but you still go out there and practice as hard as you can.

I might be in a little decline. I don't know. How many guys that have played 150 games are still on the upswing? I've played a lot of games, a lot of snaps.

I understand what training camp is for. It's needed. It's necessary, so it's just one of those things that you have to put yourself through and it makes you better. It gets you in good shape, so it's necessary.

It's always great when you just pound the rock, impose your will, and that is going to break the spirit of the defense if you can keep running it and they can't stop you.

Once you've been around this business long enough, anything is a possibility. It's a business first and foremost. Guys play it because they love it, but it is a business, and if you don't understand that it's a business, you're lying to yourself.

happens a lot quicker at guard and center than it does out at tackle.

I was just really anxious for it all to be over with. Going in the first round it was over pretty early, so I was pretty happy.

We had a breakdown. People were blocking the wrong guys.

It was unintentional where I hit him, but that?s where it landed. You saw what happened.

It?s just going to make me better going against him everyday,

The last few days it?s been Richard Seymour. That was a little different for me the first few times. I don?t think anyone handles Richard easily, but we?re getting there.

I just worry about what I have do and concentrate on what I have going on. They've thrown pretty much everything they can throw at me. I just got to learn from it all.

I guess don?t try to push someone off of you. It happens.

He's such a great athlete, you watch him and you wonder how he does it. I think he's pretty blessed to have that ability.
